| - I went, and I'm underwhelmed.
It was my first PB experience. I might have been anticipating for this too much. I love Asian bakeries in general. And not having to go all the way to the strip (in Venetian) and stay within my comfort zone (Chinatown) was a plus.
The appearance of the store sure has promising Asian Bakery feel. Glass case full of familiar pastries, like red bean bun, croissants, and of course, baguettes in a basket, self-service trays and tongs.
They have plenty of room behind the cashier to work and walk around, yet they are scrambling in there; one trying to serve drink, the other trying to reach plates placed above espresso machine or one of the machines there, all while sandwich staff chatting and looking into the store through their cold case of sandwich ingredients.
On to the food; I've tried Mocha cake, red bean bun, mini croissant, mini mochi donut.
They are nice, good tasting, but none of them exceeds anything you can get from other local bakeries in the area.
Eat-in area is not big, and unattended. So you might find a table, but most likely you'd have to brush off crumbs left by people before you, if you want to eat there.
I might go back again, later, just to see if there's anything I missed in my first visit. But, I'm good for a while.
